Chapter 2227: Rebuilding Order

Ye Liuyun murmured, "The war is over!"

His gaze lingered on the vanished Light Gate, full of longing for the alien battlefield.

Some soldiers, hearing Ye Liuyun's whisper, immediately began cheering.

"The war is over!"

"We won!"

"We have destroyed the Zhongxing Wangchao!"

In an instant, hundreds of thousands shouted cheers, and smiles spread across everyone's faces.

Liang Yuan hadn't expected the change to be so swift, so he slunk away, taking his men with him.

Ye Liuyun released Magic Vines to clear the corpses from the battlefield.

Qiong Qi proactively used Transmission Voice to tell Ye Liuyun, "That woman is your master's fellow clan member, Li Xianying; the young gentleman is Yao Guangyao, the boss of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance; the big‑bearded man Zhao Hu; they are all your master's best friends!"

"I truly envy them for being able to slay the alien together with the master!"

Ye Liuyun remarked.

"Now the war is over, you should quickly resume cultivation!"

Qiong Qi added.

Next comes the work of rebuilding the dynasty.

Ye Liuyun ordered Song An, Liang Xue and others to gather in the Royal City for a joint discussion.

He even invited He Lian Tian Yuan over.

At first he promised to march with He Lian Tian Yuan, and Ye Liuyun even considered yielding the throne to He Lian Tian Yuan.

But after He Lian Tian Yuan arrived, he said he would not take the throne under any circumstances.

Because he had often heard He Lian Xiu speak of their army's strength.

He was well aware of the Central Region's power and knew he could not hold the field.

Yet that turned out to be just right.

Because Song An and others had long discussed with Ye Liuyun that He Lian Tian Yuan had no battle merits and a low realm; putting him on the throne would only make everyone laugh.

Some might even cause trouble out of dissent.

So Ye Liuyun continued to let He Lian Tian Yuan govern the Western Region and the Northern Region.

He Lian Tian Yuan was already quite satisfied with this outcome.

Moreover, with this son‑in‑law protecting him, no one would worry about contesting the throne.

The Zhongxing Wangchao was renamed the Central Dynasty, implying leadership over the four directions.

Because Ye Liuyun now actually governs areas that already include the entire Divine Realm.

Yu Xiaofeng still serves as the president of the Central Dynasty, ordering his subordinates to subdue the remaining border battlefields, then station troops at each dynasty's garrisons, and open the Central Region's borders, allowing the entire Divine Realm to be connected so civilians and Martial Cultivators can travel freely.

In this way, the disparity in realms among other regions will gradually catch up, letting the Central Region drive Martial Cultivators elsewhere to improve their strength.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun mandated that every Martial Cultivator must have at least one experience on both a primary alien battlefield and an advanced alien battlefield.

All citizens must join the fight, jointly repelling foreign invasions.

After Mo Xiaotian's defection to the alien, the Central Region also recognized the threat of the alien.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun led by example, starting with the royal family.

Even the duty soldiers in the great army must rotate shifts, lest they delay training on the alien battlefield.

Ye Liuyun also dispatched, in one go, ten thousand Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators to a real alien battlefield.

This immediately eased a great amount of pressure on the alien battlefield.

This boldness earned the admiration of the entire Central Region.

So under his leadership, no one could object.

In truth, for Martial Cultivators and civilians alike, they did want to kill the alien, but the former Zhongxing Wangchao only sent others and never dispatched its own people, which sparked public resentment.

Now Ye Liuyun leads the way, and the Martial Cultivators indeed need refinement, so a trip to an alien battlefield is no longer a problem.

Eventually this habit was codified into law; those who avoid the alien battlefield become despised cowards.

The hundred‑thousand troops Ye Liuyun sent to garrison Du Hun Mountain were recalled to the Royal City.

All borders have been opened, so they no longer need to be stationed.

Yu Xiaofeng, with several Leaders, began to reorganize all the great armies of the Divine Realm.

Ye Liuyun's five‑hundred‑thousand troops were not disbanded; the ones that were disbanded are now the garrisons of the various dynasties.

He kept only one hundred thousand of the five hundred thousand in each region.

It turned out that a portion of each dynasty's army was taken by the under‑manned City Lord's Office, and the rest were completely disbanded.

The Formation Master of the Profound Heaven Sect, under Wu Kun's leadership, began establishing Teleportation Arrays across the lands to facilitate the great army's circulation and rotation.

Yuan Hao's fifty‑thousand troops became the Inspection Army, commanded by Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang, tasked with handling incidents of City Lord Offices and Royal Mansions oppressing civilians across the lands.

Ye Tiandao's Spearhead Unit became Ye Liuyun's Imperial Guard.

Jing Yong, leading the Heijia armored guards, became a Royal City guard.

Wu Qingcheng and others came to the Central Royal City to handle various affairs.

Qiong Qi personally re‑established Defense Array in the Royal City.

Feng Hong Xiu quickly opened the Red Luan Pavilion throughout the Central Region.

The Spirit Cloud Business Association also entered the Central Region, engaging in normal competition with the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

Of course, in other regions, Ye Liuyun does not restrict the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance's development.

Both sides even agreed to fair competition, refraining from underhanded tactics.

Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and the others naturally became Ye Liuyun's overseers, managing business affairs and handling various resource channels; they were already adept at it.

Mo Tianheng was released from the Royal City's death prison by Ye Liuyun.

But Mo Tianheng also had little interest in the dynasty.

When he returned then, he had not even thought of seizing the throne; he only wanted to go home and have a look, never expecting that Mo Xiaotian would treat him this way.

Now he also has no lingering thoughts, so he simply continues to wander, improving his strength.

During the time he was imprisoned, his cultivation speed slowed, and in fact he fell two minor realms below Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately gave him plenty of resources.

Before, Mo Tianheng had helped him a lot, so he naturally would not be stingy.

As for other matters, Ye Liuyun basically did nothing, did not try to change the situation, and certainly would not participate in the power struggles of various regions.

He merely busied himself with cultivation each day, rarely showing his face.

By the time the Central Region had stabilized, his realm had already broken through to the Eighth Tier Early Stage.

But the whole Divine Realm, especially the Central Region, on the contrary, strongly supported his rule.

After Liang Yuan returned to the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, he naturally was very dissatisfied with Ye Liuyun.

But his single opinion could not play a guiding role for the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

It's just that the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance knows that Ye Liuyun is difficult to manage, that's all.

But Ye Liuyun is fundamentally different from Mo Xiaotian.

As soon as Ye Liuyun took office, he sent ten thousand Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators to support the Alien Battlefield; this, on the contrary, made the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance very relieved.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun settled the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

The Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance is the economic pillar of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, so they naturally would not target Ye Liuyun anymore.

What's more, even if Ye Liuyun were to demobilize troops again, they would not easily go to war with him to consume the number of Martial Cultivators.

But if they later conscript Martial Cultivators for the Alien Battlefield, they also need to come up with their own methods, proposing conditions that can entice Martial Cultivators.

Ye Liuyun will also not give them conscripted Martial Cultivators.

However, the propaganda that should be coordinated, Ye Liuyun will still not neglect.

Even without the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance saying so, he will see to it that the propaganda is done thoroughly.
